We knew nothing about this place and only stopped here because of the nearby campsite review. What a place this is and what history! Buy an all-inclusive ticket which gives you access to the basilica, tower and crypt. The basilca is more of a monument than a working church as only the top end is used for services. The rest has an amazing mosaic, the largest I have ver seen, with elevated platforms to walk along and view it all. It is just superb. There is also a sad WW1 graveyard behind the church with the most beautiful and poignant statue in it - very few people visited it when I was there but it was lovely. This is a must-see place - why had we never heard of it before?

A lovely oldie world charm, a wonderful village/town with fine sense of history, some restoration work being done, I should imagine it may be finished about the same time as Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia.

This is a real hidden gem. A place that deserves a visit. It is the last villa that the last Venetian Doge built. Environmental sorroundings are green and simple, making you feel the beauty of simplicity. Culture and Nature meet there in Villa Manin.

The highlight here is the second floor room where the walls and ceiling are painted in their entirety by Tiepolo, using a variety of techniques to produce an almost overwhelming visual impact. There is also an amazing library and rooms on the floor below with a whole range of interesting religious statues, paintings and icons. A great artistic and cultural experience.
